Hello,
This series contains a number of misc improvements and preparation
patches for an upcoming series that adds support for the new PPv2.2
network controller to the mvpp2 driver.
The most significant improvements are:
- Switching to using build_skb(), which is necessary for the upcoming
PPv2.2 support, but anyway a good improvement to the current mvpp2
driver (supporting PPv2.1).
- Making the driver build on 64-bit platforms.
Changes since v1:
- This series is split as a separate series from the larger patch set
adding support for PPv2.2 in the mvpp2 driver, as requested by
David Miller.
- Rebased on top of v4.10-rc1.
Thanks!
Thomas
